"Solid car, has seen its share of highways and also bumper to bumper traffic. Still gets great gas mileage, more than 30 mpg for highway, about 24 for city. The ignition and starter have been replaced repeatedly, which is my greatest gripe, given the age of the car."

"I bought this vehicle used less than a year ago. 2,900 miles later the Check Engine light came on while I was 400 miles away from the dealership. $200 and they replaced something different than they told me on the phone. 2,900 miles later the Check Engine light came on... $400 because the mechanic told me that the radiator was bent. 2,900 miles later the light came on the problem: P1887 - the same problem as the first repair only the dealership decided to replace a brake switch instead of what they told me they were repairing. The problem: the transmission needs to be rebuilt or replaced. This car is also notorious for intake manifold repairs. This is the first time in my life that I've owned a Chevy and NEVER AGAIN."

"I had my Malibu for 6 years, and is is such a fun car to drive. No major problems except the air conditioning is not working too well now.. but after 6 yers, its not bad. the car goes when you need it to and it is very reliable. I have another vehicle just 2 years old but I rather drive my Malibu."

"I have owned this vehicle since 2003, I bought it as a program vehicle. For the most part i have been very happy with it.
My only complaint is that a seal around the rear left tail light assembly went bad and water was getting into the tail light housing.
I ended up having to replace it. GM wanted $225.00 for the replacement of the housing since there was rust on the light conections, I found one for $125.00 used . I had since found out that this has been a problem on other GM vehicles as well. It should have been a recall item as it created a safety issue, it caused my left tail and brake light not to work.
Other then that it has been a very reliable car."
